Returning to the workshop, Tuna threw herself back onto the bed.
“Ugh… … . After all, the bed should be like this. Gororong… … .”
“You have to go to bed early and wake up early to be a good child. What is Tuna doing without sleeping until dawn?”
Then Charles approached. Tuna buried her head in the blanket, who was sore from yesterday, but Charles, whose enchantments had been released, was as usual.
“Tuna, the supply of household medicine has been completed. The payment will be made at the end of the month.”
“Oh, oh… … .”
Ariete, who was organizing her backpack, approached with something.
“Is Tuna sleeping? I forgot to give you a present.”
“Um-! gift!?”
Tuna threw down the blanket and jumped up and sat up. Ariete looked at the scene with a smile and held out the pouch she was holding in her hand.
“I bought it for you.”
“What is it?”
What he took out of his pocket was a sharp dagger. As Tuna drew a dagger in her hand and gave a bewildered expression, Ariete smiled proudly and said,
“I didn’t know what you liked, so I picked the one I liked. Isn’t it nice?”
“Kuh-! It is Ariete’s answer.”
Carrot laughed. Tuna hugged it tightly to her chest and her eyes twinkled.
“Uh, well, I’ll write well.”
“Speaking of which, what do you like?”
Tuna smiled and said.
“Seo, I think of me as a gift. Anything you choose with your heart is fine. Can I cut an apple with this?”
Things you chose with your heart thinking of me.
Ariete, deeply moved by Tuna’s words, replied triumphantly.
“of course! It is a versatile knife. It can be used as a transition tool, or it can be used for tearing letters.”
“Oh, come on, I’ll write well. Uh, but I, I don’t have much to give you.”
Ariete opened her eyes wide and raised her arms.
“What you gave me is so great. You can just breathe next to me.”
“Hee hee. I-I can use it after that.”
Carrot asked, watching the two women giggle.
“By the way, where has the owner of our house gone? I thought you were running around naked.”
“Oh, he said he was going to get a vehicle. Did you say James?”
“Oh oh! Are you going in Uncle James’ carriage?”
That evening, in the yard in front of the workshop, people who had been invited to a meeting and meal just before departure gathered.
Crank served a barbecue with the meat he saved. When Venus cut it with a knife, carrots and rots were grilled and people picked them up and ate them.
Crank, who introduced James and Geo’s party to each other while eating meat, brought a map and unfolded it. And he opened his mouth in a low voice.
“Civil war broke out in Cyphers. That’s why refugees are said to be gathering over the mountains to the border. I was asked to grasp the exact size and situation. They depart from many cities besides us.”
G.O’s party, which began to pound at the word civil war, looked at each other. James, who was eating the meat Carrot was grilling, blinked.
“A civil war in Cyphers? This is not the time for me to do this!”
Crank added, remembering that his wife ran a clothing store.
“If there is a commotion, there will be accountability. Be careful. I’ll catch you for not knowing.”
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll get up first. So, when are you leaving?”
“We leave right away tomorrow. See you at the square at 7.”
“Okay.”
James, who put down the plate he had finished eating, ran into the alley and disappeared.
Vita, who was watching the scene, asked.
“What does the Civil War in Cypher have to do with him?”
“Cypherz’s imports include cheap, high-quality fabrics for cloth. The clothes you are wearing right now will also be mixed with items from that country.”
Everyone was surprised and looked at the clothes they were wearing. Crank swept the meat Carrot was grilling into his mouth and munched on it.
“Ummm, and his family runs a clothing store. Since the price of fabric will rise, we are trying to stock up in advance.”
And Crank looked back at Geo’s party and the people at the workshop who were eating meat for the first time in a while.
“As I said before, the guild will impose sanctions if there is a disturbance while trying to get personal gain with the request information. It’s common sense, so please engrave the benefits.”
“Then who is that man?”
“He is also a person with thick bones on this floor. I’ll do it in moderation. If things get bigger, it’s enough if you take them off.”
Only Kobe chewed the meat intently, the others staring at the crank with their mouths open.
“It sounds harsh, but it’s important to draw the line in any relationship, whether it’s work or people. There is no reason or need to feel bad about this.”
Vita raised her hand holding a fork, as if she had a lot of questions.
“Isn’t that a bit cautious? What if I feel sad?”
“Why would you want to think of the delicate feeling of a burglar coming into your house to steal? If there are people like that around you, clean them up quickly. He is someone you do not need in your life.”
Vita, an 18-year-old spring girl, widened her eyes at the cold-hearted proposal of the tin giant, who felt like a harsh winter. Crank, who lowered the empty plate, looked at the meat being cooked on the grill and continued.
“If you live with being beaten up every day by the vicious guys in the neighborhood as a child, you become a person like me.”
Carrot, who was grilling the meat with tongs, smiled.
“ah! Fluid!”
“I thought it was a boy until I was 15. It was a terrible childhood.”
Boris asked in disbelief.
“that’s right? you?”
“When I was young, I was small. Kobe, is the meat to your liking?”
“yes! Is it tasty. what kind of meat is it? Yum Yum-!”
Carrot, who hit the tongs, said.
“It’s leftover troll meat. Are you fine?”
Living together, the workshop family, who often ate monster meat, had no problem, but at Geo’s party, except for Kobe, everyone’s face turned blue.
* * *
At dawn the next day, the people who had finished preparing went out to the studio.
Tuna didn’t sleep and made something and came out to see me off.
“Bye.”
“Are you a nocturnal animal? take a break and do it Sleep at night.”
“Uh hee hee, yes.”
Leaving Tuna and Charles behind, I walked down the street at dawn to the plaza, and a large carriage came out first and was waiting for me.
Ariete said.
“In the vicinity of the capital, they call it an automatic car or something, but here they just call it an automatic carriage.”
“It’s like a name, so it doesn’t matter. It’s comfortable, and the power is good. I wonder if we should get one if the party increases.”
“Oh oh! Really?”
Crank raised his head as he put his backpack into the luggage compartment.
“I’ll make a lot of money so I’ll buy this too.”
“hmm! lion!”
Carrot, who was listening to the conversation between the two nearby, smiled happily.
Geo’s party, which was in trouble because there was no one to take care of it, arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild as Crank suggested. G.O, who was sitting in a comfortable seat and enjoying the scenery outside the window, said in a stupid voice.
“Wow, it’s very comfortable.”
“huh. really.”
Boris asked intrigued.
“Mr. James. How much do you like this?”
James, who sat in the driver’s seat and started the car at the question of his son’s age, laughed.
“I repaired the consignment of the guards. Um, 20 million Leeds for nothing, and about 30 million Leeds for repairs? It was rolled so badly that I had to change everything except the shell.”
Wheein-!
In addition, the speed was more than twice as fast as that of the top.
“This has also been modified. It consumes a lot of mana, but to be honest, I need to get this speed.”
“Maybe it is the fastest wagon in Argon. i look forward to. Mr. James.”
“yes. After all, the investigation mission is a race against time. leave it to you I am the best driver recognized by my friends at the top.”
Their cars also started to run through the busy morning scenery of the early city.
And so, the Argon Refugee Investigation Squadron, consisting of 1 automaton, 1 driver, 4 swordsmen and warriors, 1 archer, 3 automatons, and 1 priest, set off.

James’ automatic wagon, which passed through the castle gate and headed east, gave new adventurers a fresh shock at every turn.
Kobe, who was on the roof, spread his arms and shouted.
“wow! Fast!”
“hahahaha! Gaza! The Far East awaits us!”
Carrot giggled and shouted from the side, and Ariete also climbed onto the roof and walked to the front of the vehicle, facing the wind, drawing her sword and shouting vigorously.
The blonde hair and blue skirt fluttered like a cape, which looked pretty good.
“From now on! So far, everything has been nothing more than preparation for the future! The main character of my life is myself!”
As I breathe in the cool spring breeze, my heart swells greatly. Ariete shouted.
“100 years! You can’t live 100 years anyway! If you die in the end! towards the future! I will die running towards my dream!”
Her cry made Kobe cry of emotion and Boris’s hands and feet shriveled.
Carrot, who was looking at her shouting from the front of the wagon, said with satisfaction.
“Why don’t Ariete play an instrument? Like that Panther in the South.”
Ariete looked back and smiled bitterly. The appearance of the panther she had seen during the southern winter hunting left a deep impression on her as well.
The sight of him running on the head of an armored vehicle with a longsword in one hand and a saxophone in the other seemed unforgettable.
“Well, I can play the flute, though.”
“Oh oh! Can you play an instrument?”
Ariete said with a slightly frowning smile.
“I was forced to become an actor simply because I looked good. I was forced to learn Skills are just that.”
Carrot put her head on the roof of the carriage and shouted what she had heard. Crank, who had walked through the hole in the roof, said it would be okay.
“Let’s go to the music store when we get back. I think it will come out in pretty good shape.”
“Crank, you were very determined to get me afloat.”
“Isn’t it natural? Investment is important. If you can see the future, moreover, you will never forget it, but half of your body is mine.”
Looking down at him, Ariete grinned.
I ran during the day and rested at night because I had to take care of meals and errands outside.
Kang-! visor-!
James, who was preparing the dishes, saw people laughing and dancing. Ariete and Boris were wielding real swords.
“Hoo. Boris, you’re doing quite well. Where did you learn that skill?”
“I often learn from people I know, yo.”
Boris, who had grown old before, applied a subtle honorific title to the armored knight in front of him. Then Crank, who was tending Kobe’s bow, intervened.
“It’s dangerous, so don’t fight with real swords. You can’t ignore the blade coming out.”
Ariete lowered her sword and strode toward Crank. Then he put his hand on his shoulder and whispered.
“Look. That’s what I like.”
Crank’s pitch turned. Boris, with his delicate face and long straight hair tied in a ponytail like a woman, is staring blankly at him.
“Well, it seemed so. Shall I introduce you?”
Enraged, Ariete began to pat Crank on the back with sincerity.
Puck puck puck!
Now she grabbed Crank’s helm, pressed her face against it, and muttered as she peered into it.
“I say sometimes. I want to see what’s inside.”
“stop. My master, don’t bother me too much.”
Carrot slipped in. Ariete quickly let go of her hand and shook her head.
“I’ve never been bullied, ever. I was just protesting against an indifferent man.”
“Oh, that’s fine.”
Crank turned his head and grunted.
